Origin and meaning

In particular, adal-ar 'noblest ar (n)' is adopted for the short names Arn, Arne, Arno . In Denmark Arne refers to the flame in a fireplace or a historical stove.

A few older name books refer to Arne and some of the related names as short forms of the Old High German Arnfried ( aar and fried , the eagle to bring peace). The more likely alternative explains the name Arne as a contracted parallel development to Arnold , which together go back to Old High German Arenwald ( aro or aar and forest , 'The one with the strength of an eagle'). The Proto-Indo-European root of the second syllable is assumed to be * waldh- on the basis of * wal- ('to be strong, to rule', in Slavic vlada for rule).
